$1,500, before acting on an application if it appears likely that:
(1) a final award will be made; and
(2) the victim or claimant will suffer undue hardship
if immediate economic relief is not obtained.
(b) All requests for emergency awards under Texas Code
of Criminal Procedure Article 56.50 shall include a written statement
from the victim or claimant setting forth the reasons why the denial
of an emergency award would create an undue hardship.
(c) Awards made under this section will be deducted
from the final award or repaid by the victim or claimant to the extent
the emergency award exceeds the final award.
